I think that when they talk about ‘defending islam’ it would help to watch this short video to understand the classic islamic sophistry applied to that term.

As an aside, things are getting very bad in terms of islamic manifest destiny in the West and USA in particular if they are at this stage of infiltration.
1. Hundreds plan to protest history textbook that devotes a chapter to islam and nothing to any other religion. (Also is totally misleading about Islam)
On Florida’s Atlantic Coast, some 200 or more local parents and activists have announced plans to show up at Tuesday’s Volusia County school board meeting to protest the public school use of a world history textbook that devotes a whole chapter to Islam but exactly zero chapters to any other religions.
The planned protest will include a demand that students rip out the 32 pages of the Islam chapter unless the school district agrees to provide students with a similar amount of officially-sanctioned material concerning other religions,
The seeds for the Wednesday protest were reportedly planted after an unidentified local mother started a Facebook page demanding that local, taxpayer-funded schools stop using the textbook.
The district indicated that it will continue to use the controversial book.
Thank you M,
(Thank you Mac)

Subject: Engineering Incident Update
Wednesday’s precautionary sweep by hazmat officials, of an engineering chemistry lab, was prompted by a student who threatened the potential use of dangerous chemicals. This student was arrested after a search of his home revealed chemicals stolen from the university. He has been charged with theft and remains in police custody pending a court appearance today.
The student’s name is Mohamadmahdi Kowsari. A photograph is attached.
Out of concern for the safety of our community, the president has suspended this student and banned him from the University of Saskatchewan. Any sighting or knowledge of this student on campus property should be reported to Saskatoon Police Service or Protective Services immediately.
This incident is a reminder that our campus is home to many hazardous materials because of the nature of the work that we do. Day to day, these are handled under strict adherence to safety standards and procedures. We must continue this diligence in our handling of such materials and never hesitate to report concerns or unusual activity.
If you notice unusual activity or have concerns about safety, please report them to Protective Services. In an emergency, call 9-1-1.

The Ibn Ghaldoun school in Rotterdam has been declared bankrupt. The Court in Rotterdam declared the bankruptcy on Tuesday.
The Islamic secondary school drew media attention this summer when 27 exam papers were stolen.
In addition, it emerged from inspection that the quality of education had been poor for years. There were also administrative and financial problems.
State Secretary for Education Sander Dekker (VVD) announced last month in response to the findings of the inspection that state financing would stop as of 1 November. Shortly after, the school filed for bankruptcy.
The more than six hundred pupils of the school can for the time being be accommodated by the Christian association Melanchthon. They will be taught at the current location as a temporary branch of the school association. There will however be completely new teaching staff.
(Note from translator below)
What is more disturbing is that apparently the authorities had been tipped off about grade and exam fraud at the school in April, 2 months before it came out about the exam papers being stolen, and did nothing. They are now claiming that it was because they had planned an inspection anyway. There will be an enquiry, but you can be certain the excuses will come thick and fast. Should point out the seriousness of the exam paper theft – all schools thoughout the country get the same exams. The papers had been stolen, so in theory every kid in the country could have known the questions in advance. The authorities had to do some serious damage management.
The NRC newspaper has a copy of the letter sent by an anonymous teacher in April to complain about the school.

It turned out that teachers has been fiddling with the grades, letting kids go on to the next year they should have stayd behind. Apparently the school’s true academic results were shocking.
The sequel is published over at American Thinker.
Here is the first paragraph. Please click above for the rest of it.
According to CTV News Canada on October 7th 2013, the previously-cancelled Halloween and Christmas celebrations have just been reinstated at Winnipeg’s Hastings School. Earlier that day, I had published an article,Sharia Adjustments in Canadian Schools, focusing on Hastings School being at the centre of a controversy regarding the cancellation of these holiday celebrations. However, what is important to note, is that these Canadian traditional holidays that have been celebrated for a few hundred years, were about to be replaced with possibly Islamic ones. Yes, Islamic ones. How so?
Winnipeg’s Hasting School, presently at the centre of a controversy regarding the cancellation of this year’s Christmas and Halloween celebrations, is part of the very same school division where a dozen Muslim families who recently arrived in Canada, went to demand their children be excused for Islamic reasons, from the elementary school music and co-ed physical education programs, both compulsory, back in 2011.
In the end, the immigrant Muslim families finally accepted the physical education classes, but with stipulations: boys and girls would have separate classes. However, the Muslim parents would not allow their children to be exposed to singing or playing musical instruments, as this is not permitted in Islam. The school division caved to Muslim demands by suggesting these students write a music project instead.
Well, so much for promoting Canadian values. The next thing to go is Canadian traditional holiday celebration. This is actually occurring at Winnipeg’s Hastings School, part of the Louis Riel School Division. Hastings School is not only cancelling Halloween and Christmas celebrations, but replacing them with possibly Islamic ones. Yes, Islamic ones. How so? Continue Reading →
Apparently diversity means to do nothing different or variate anything ever.
Check this article out though, especially the paragraph on ‘shirk’, a major crime in Islam where anything other than Mohamed is equated with his imaginary friend, ‘Allah’. I think a solid understanding of this concept might help to explain many changes we see in important Western cultural and legal institutions.

They’re also annoyed the annual Winter Concert has been replaced by an evening of African drumming.
Hastings School offers classes to children from Grade 1 to Grade 8.
Parent Stephen Meleck says he’s “pretty worked up” while parent Diane Traverse says it’s taking Halloween and Christmas away from the children.

The school is also facing a probe by the Education Funding AgencyA Muslim free school accused of imposing strict Islamic practices, such as segregated classrooms, has closed following an inspection by Ofsted.
The BBC understands Ofsted’s findings were so damning that the acting head of Al-Madinah, in Derby, had little choice but to shut it down immediately.
The school said the move was due to a “health and safety issue” but expected it to reopen in the “very near future”.
The University of Regina is going to great lengths to help its Muslim students avoid doing the same when washing for on-campus prayer sessions.
The university has installed “foot-baths” in a public washroom at its Riddell Centre, in order to allow Muslim students — many of whom pray numerous times a day, and wash themselves beforehand — to clean their feet in a way that isn’t awkward and difficult through a use of regular sinks.
(OK Great. So now when are they gonna install professors and rational discourse at mosques.)

The discredited Islamic school Ibn Ghaldoun will cease to operate independently, and for the next 4 to 5 years will operate under the supervision of the Christian Association for Further Education in the Rotterdam area (CVO). This will allow Islamic education to continue to exist in Rotterdam. This was announced by the school boards today, Thursday.
The board of the Ibn Ghaldoun school asked the CVO to give Islamic education in Rotterdam a quality boost and ensure continuity for pupils and parents of the school. How exactly the school and the CVO will work together temporarily is now being investigated by the municipality of Rotterdam, which supports the initiative.
The reason for the merger is the negative image, damage to its reputation and social unrest that arose after the theft of examination papers. “The Board and the Supervisory Board consider it desirable that Islamic education makes a new start in Rotterdam. Given our denomination and character it is a logical choice for us to ask the CVO for assistance,” said Ayhan Tonca, director of Ibn Ghaldoun.
The CVO will provide a temporary assistance construction. “The idea is that Islamic secondary school in Rotterdam will once again be able to operate independently within 4 to 5 years. Until then, under the umbrella of the CVO, they will make use of our expertise in the field of quality,” says Wim Littooij, director of the CVO.
Think the same schools will take the muslim kids to a synagogue? A Catholic Church and make them get baptized? How about a lecture by Sam Harris or Richard Dawkins, which in fact really should be part of the curricula.

The actual videos of the teacher defending himself are here. I don’t know if there are any videos of the provocations.
H/T to Golemsbar who had this to say about it:
at this point it’s pretty obvious that CAIR is using the US govt as a weapon against perceived slights against any people from their “tribe” regardless of merit, effectively turning the US into a weird Middle Eastern tribal society

Universities were under pressure tonight to crack down on Islamic extremists who spout hatred on campuses.
An investigation has been launched into claims that a series of radical speakers were invited to events and distributed leaflets to students at the University where both killers are thought to have studied.
The probe will consider whether Greenwich University’s Islamic society had any role in radicalising Michael Adebolajo, 28 and Michael Adebowale, 22.

Home Secretary Theresa May yesterday pledged to look at introducing new powers to tackle Al Qaeda sympathisers who try to recruit impressionable students at colleges.
She has criticised universities for being ‘complacent’ in tackling the risk of radicalisation.
